‘All Thoughts Fly’ radiates a melancholic beauty, and is distinguished by fluid transitions of contrasting elements; calmness and drama, harmony and dissonance, much like the place that inspires the music.

About the album Anna explains “there’s a sadness and wilderness that inspired me to write this album, also a timelessness. I believe that this park has survived not only due to its beauty but also because of the iconography, it has been liberated from predictable ideas and ideals."

"The people who built this park truly set their minds and imagination free. All thoughts fly is a homage to this creation, and an effort to articulate the atmosphere and the feelings that this place evokes inside of me. It’s a very personal interpretation of a place that I lack the words to describe. I’d like to believe Orsini built this monumental park out of grief for his dead wife, and in my Sacro Bosco I used this story as a core for my own inspiration: love as a foundation for creation.”



MOJO - 4* boxed review “Without Von Hausswolff’s astringent vocals, this solo instrumental album feels lighter on gates-of-doom atmosphere than previous work, but even so, whispers and echoes start to bounce off this record’s walls, promising revelation at every turn.”

**THE WIRE -  “von Hausswolff pulls out all the stops to create an equally monumental work of art ingeniously fusing ancient and modern music. Particularly effective is the siren-like chorus of differently pitched drones summoned up on ‘Dolore Di Orsini’ - while on “Sacro Bosco”, her chosen instrument is temporarily transformed into a mighty steam engine. But the true miracle here is the way she makes the organ breathe into life, especially on the long title track that is the album’s time tilting centrepiece.”

''Lush and sorrowful wordless soundscapes, performed entirely on the pipe organ of a local church.'' 7.7 Pitchfork
